Photojournalist Asbjørn Sand
Based in Odense, Denmark.
My camera gives me access to the lives of other people. I get to meet the wealthiest and the poorest - sometimes within the same day.
Seeing different ways of living is widening my own perspective making me aware that my way of living may not be the perfect solution for everybody.
The goal with my photography is to open the eyes of other people too. To tell stories of people who are different from the norm, making it easier to relate to, understand, and accept why everybody has different goals and views.
For my own part I grew up in an out of the ordinary family without a car or a TV but with chickens and a garden full of vegetables in a small town on the island of Fyn, Denmark.
I got interested in moving pictures as a teenager when making a skateboard video with my friends. But my visual interest changed to stills when I discovered documentary photography.
In january 2013 I graduated from The Danish School of Journalism with a BA in photojournalism.
